"The rebels," he says, "remind me of an actor playing the tiger in the famous Burmese drama Mai U. While waiting for his cue to chase the villain he fell asleep, only to wake up suddenly in the middle of the next play, where Prince Siddhartha (Gautama Buddha) was setting out on his charger to follow the life of an ascetic. Thinking he was still in the previous play, the sleepy actor...
